My notes based on 2011 quarter 2 report (number in '000):-
- The improved revenue was mainly attributed to the effects of adopting IC 12 which resulted in recognition of construction revenue in relation to the construction of Klia2 and expansion of Penang International Airport in the current quarter of RM182.0 million

- Stripping out the construction revenue, the consolidated revenue for the current quarter under review was higher than the same corresponding period in the previous year by 8.4% or RM36.4 million

- The improvement in revenue for current quarter under review was mainly contributed by a positive growth of 7.3% from airport operations, driven by an increase in non-aeronautical revenue of 14.9% which was mostly derived from the Group’s retail business

- Passenger movements for the current quarter under review were 6.8% higher than the corresponding period last year, in which the international and domestic passenger movements increased by 2.6%

- The Group’s airport operations revenue was, however, impacted by airline incentives accrued in financial period-to-date of RM60.0 million which will be given out to airlines in the current financial year, as compared to RM10.0 million incurred in the corresponding period in the previous year. The airline incentives were granted to eligible airlines under the Airlines Recovery Program (“ARP”) announced on 18 November 2009 and effective for a period of three years ending 31 December 2011

- Despite the lower total crop harvested as a result of the 1,721 hectares of land surrendered for the construction of Klia2, revenue from the agriculture segment increased due to the higher fresh fruit bunch price which had increased by RM258 per MT ( 2011: 39,316MT / RM751, 2010:42,136MT/ RM493 )

- Hotel revenue grew 12.0% or RM3.6 million due to higher revenue from food and beverage related services and rooms occupancy rate

- The favourable PBT variance was attributed to the positive growth in revenue. The adoption of IC 12 has no impact to the PBT in the current quarter and financial period-to-date under review as no mark-up was applied to the construction cost incurred in deriving the construction revenue
recognized

- In addition, the improvement in PBT was also as a result of lower interest on borrowings due to the settlement of short term borrowings at the end of 2010

- The favourable variance was also contributed by lower share of associate losses, as well as the MAHB Group’s cost saving initiatives resulting in lower utilities, repair maintenance and administrative expenses
